Interface PathContainer

All Known Subinterfaces:

RequestPath

public interface PathContainer

Structured representation of a URI path whose elements have been pre-parsed into a sequence of Separator and PathSegment elements.

An instance of this class can be created via parsePath(String). Each PathSegment exposes its structure decoded safely without the risk of encoded reserved characters altering the path or segment structure and without path parameters for path matching purposes.
